Guy is into girl-
Pretends to like the same stuff she does.
Disregards his friends when she is around.
Would be willing to give up meat if she is a vegetarian...

Guy is not into girl-
Ims and text message conversations are short, and uninteresting.
Hangs out with her, but hardly pays any attention to her...
Starts dating another girl...

Girl into guy-
Is the first to start a conversation.
Acts some what awkward around him than when she is with others.
Will do silly things [like steal his hat and hide it] just to get his attention and make him pay attention to her.

Girl is not into guy-
Seems rather dull to talk to.
Does some thing else, [plays with phone, or reads a book] when he is around.
Isn't awkward around him at all.

I like these. In my last relationship.. I think I might have unconsciously gave up meat because she was a vegan.

And another thing that I can elaborate on is the silly things girls would do to get a guys attention. Like.. wear his sweater when he puts it down or puts on his glasses or wear his hat.

I think another obvious thing is if the girl gets jealous or unresponsive if you start talking about another girl.

I happen to really like this elephant in a nearby circus. But it's always ignoring me unless I give it peanuts. Do you think it's interested?

I have yet to confirm its gender. Could that be the reason? Should I try bringing the elephant for a romantic dinner? Or is it better if I play the cold type?

Many thanks.

Nothing's more satisfying about a relationship than conditional love. Have you tried hay btw? Locale can be important about meeting that special someone. This circus you speak of: this description fits most metropolitian bistros or dentention centers on cheap seats night. Is this where you plan to meet and greet?

Determination of gender: I find with certain ppl if you introduce the game of LIFE (aka Nisemonogatari) you can predict with reasonable certainty their gender by the color stick they pick and where they place it in the game car.

First Impressions: these are important. I would suggest you watch latest episode of Polar Bear Cafe (Jun 9, 2012 presently). A lemony scent leaves a lasting impression and gives new meaning to eco-appreciation when conversing with the opposite sex.

Good luck. Remember composure and a sense of adventure. These will become important assets in your quest for the answers you seek.

If you want confirmation on whether the elephant is into you, as much as you like the elephant (giving the elephant peanuts and visiting the elephant) then you must do reverse psychology to catch it's attention.

Make that elephant think it has to work for it's peanuts and ignore it unti it comes begging at your door.

A good topic. It's really helpful for someone like me who is not yet interested in dating and who doesn't care whether a guy is interested to her. In the future, when I have somebody I'm interested to I'll read all of your opinions over again.

Poor blue-collar boy has a summer romance with rich, educated city girl.

He promises to build her a dream house and dedicate a room so that she can paint.

Family disapproves and takes girl back to city where she meets a wealthy Prince Charming.

Guy's heart is broken, goes through a war, comes back and buys a crappy, dilapidated mansion and starts pouring his heart and soul into remodeling it, with the hopes that girl will eventually come back to him.
